LATE BISHOP WILLIAMS.
COLLAPSE AT MEETING. Per Press Association. NAPIER, Dec. 7. The late Bishop Williams, of Waiapu, whose death occurred yesterday, although confined to his bed at Bishopscourt, had presided over the meeting of the Diocesan Board of Nomination, the members being seated about the bed. While he was reading the minutes, the Bishop suddenly announced that he was unable to go on and collapsed and died shortly afterwards. Heart trouble brought an abrupt termination to the visit paid by the Bishop to the northern portion of his diocese last week and he returned to Napier and had been confined to his bed ever since.
